Good Luck Roof Bulls: Miracles Momma Designs Sketch


































What a fun little sketch! I rotated it to make the most of my photos.


Heather at Miracles Momma Designs always manages to come up with these cool ideas like banners behind the photos. I love show casing a nice series of paper that works well together.


























My favorite part of this page is the little house sticker with the red microbeads. and the heart pin.


























Here is a close-up of my paint splatters. My latest Scraptastic Farmer's Market Kit  came with a nice brown paint dauber so I enjoyed smearing on some paint. It also came with these delicious papers from Lily Bee!


























Also included was this pretty brown thankful banner and glittery leaves.

I thought it went well with the colors of these itty bitty little bulls I bought come from Peru. Two grubby boys asked me to purchase them and since it was early on in my trip, my resistance to cute little faces was lacking so I handed them $5 American and they ran for the hills. Turns out I overpaid by quite a bit as my father pointed out later!

Here is a photo of a bigger set. I think the colors are so pretty and soft on these.



Bulls in Peru are EVERYWHERE! They love to put them on their rooftops along with other items, usually a cross. There is a really nice little write up of that on this blog if you are interested. I think it's cool they believe bulls bring good luck.

Personally I always avoid them...having gotten stuck with one licking the tires of my truck one sunny afternoon while out doing field work!

Happy Monday!

  3. I agree with Lizzy. Selling the bulls did bring THEM luck. They are super cute and I say they're totally worth the $ you paid for them. Nice to know the story behind your fabulous page!
